Will BB1 brake disks fit my BB8?

Hi guys,

So I daily drive a 1997 5th gen 2.2 manual BB8, and I'm on the look out for a new set of disks. The pads are looking low and I have some very slight steering vibration under braking so I'd like to splash out on new disks and pads all round.

I found this eBay listing which looks pretty good, however it's a little unclear which model lude it's for.

https://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayI ... spheader=1

It says they're for a 1997 year car, which is what mine is, however then it says BB1, which I understand is a 4th gen?? So I guess my question is can I fit these to my BB8 5th gen?

And yes, I'm picking the slotted/grooved look purely because I like the look. I'm a child

Cheers guys!
Chris

They are for 4th gen, which are 4 stud wheels. Ignore the year on the advert, it should read 92--96.

You want 282mm 5 stud discs.

Regarding pads though, they are all interchangeable between vtec models.

I didn't even spot the '4 stud' in the description, as the photo shows 5 stud. I'm an idiot!

You can drill them to 5 studs pattern which isn't that hard. Or find a set made for your car
